A
child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This
is
because the back
of
a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has
one.

Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go
before securing
a
forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats” in the Index.)
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
4.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions
of
the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you
how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face
or neck, put it behind the child restraint.
5.
Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button
is
positioned
so
you would be able
to
unbuckle
the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
